Jeep Jamborees

Are off-road adventure weekends that bring together the outdoors, down-to-earth people, and their Jeep 4x4s. These off-road treks have a long tradition dating back to 1953 when 4×4 pioneer Mark A. Smith organized the first ever Jeep Jamboree and voyaged across the Sierra Nevada Mountains by way of the old Rubicon Trail. In 1954, Willys Motors — then manufacturer of Jeep vehicles — became involved with the adventure, and Jeep Jamborees have been an off-road tradition ever since.

In our younger years we belonged to a van club and we traveled to meets all over the US. We each have Jeeps now and we’re itching to try one of the Jamborees. If we can’t decide who gets to drive, we might be taking both Jeeps. That may be the best thing anyway. She’s a little more daring than I am. Thanks for the information and the link.

I’m hoping to be able to hook up with one or two jamborees next summer. I just got my Jeep and was not able to get the time off work to make any this year. They sound really cool and right up my alley. I can hardly wait for Spring.
